need help (Suzuki not honoring warranty)

[tbonegwapito]

ano ba sabi sau ung binili mo ung car? 3yrs warranty? is your car a v6 or a v4?
ang alam ko pag bumili ka car hangang 10km lang warranty nila, labor lang warranty nila after 10km ung parts kaw na magshoulder, nasa warranty card ata nakasulat un, pag suzuki phils na nagsabi, usually mga dealer wala na magagawa.
timing chain ng grand vitara sensitive, usally 80-100km lang takbo tapos kelangan mo pasilip para di ka mamublema in the future,

grand vitara is a good car, lakas ng hatak porma pa, maintenance lang tlga kelangan. maliit lang na bato lumipad sa loob ng makina mo, putol na chain mo. kaya pag tiningnan mo engine nya, ang sikip. puro cover. so ang tanung naputol ba chain mo? what symptoms are you experiencing?

Is this your first car with a timing chain? Because timing chain (and timing gear) driven vehicles inherently make more noise than a timing belt driven unit.

That's the price of toughness.

Its within the warranty. they acknowledge it
they blame the change oil , it which is not always within 5t its between 5-10tkm.
I've been very busy and this is not my first brand new car and i don't do change oil obsessively on time but this is the first time a car this kind has broken at less than 3 years!! One of the reason i bought it is because it was assembled in Japan and supposedly one of the best engine!!!! and what did i get!**
I got it at PRINCE MOTORS and they said that suzuki Phil is the one that denied my warramty claim

pls help

naka-ilan change oil ka na ba in 3 years, if 2-3 lang eh baka nga i-deny ka. covered din ba ang vitara ng 2 years free pms with oil and sparkplugs like the jimny and the swift .. sayang naman

idagdag ko rin, masyadong kulang yung detalye ni TS. hindi lang po years ang basehan nang warranty, pati odometer reading. 100k km or 3 years warranty may ganun. so kung 100k+ km na ang itinakbo nang auto mo sir, automatic out of warranty na yun.

please paki-elaborate more of your problems on your timing chain TS. ano ang problema sa timing chain? we can't help you if you can't give sufficient details to us.

It was mentioned in the first post he did 50k km and the vehicle is less than 3 years old.

[likot]

Sir paki linaw naman. So sa 50K km pms don lumabas yung problem?

1. Nagpa PMS ka ba sa Suzuki nung 45K km pms? Nung 40K km pms?
2. Nung 50K checkup mo ano ang odo reading is it 50K sakto or mga 52,000 km na?

Pakisagot to para malinaw.

no matter what, Suzuki don't have "extended" warranties compared to Hyundai and Kia na may 3 years or 100k Warranty na kasama. but warranty varies from vehicle per vehicle yata. I don't really pay attention to these nowadays because of some incident/experience in the past.

to TS: if warranty will be honored, you will still shoulder the parts but you are free from labor charge.

I have been a suzuki fan for so long a time. And the zuk engine by far is one of the best I have driven. Maybe the PMS gap was too long say more than 10,000 kms? Kasi parang unusual naman kung ganoon. And besides, this is the first I have seen na nagkaproblema sa timing chain (older zuks used timing belts - if serviced regularly will not pose any problem naman). Sa PMS schedule table ng Suzuki, very specific sila kung ano ang gagawin. Once you fail to observe that schedule, then maybe its their reason for not honoring your warranty.

[OTEP]

And if you're included in the free service package, I don't see any reason to miss the PMS.
